Kahua, a leading provider of asset centric project management® information systems (PMIS), announced a new integration with IBM Maximo Application Suite, a trusted enterprise asset management (EAM) and computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). This integration advances Kahua’s Asset Centric Project Management® (ACPM) approach by delivering seamless data flow across the construction and operations lifecycle.
Historically, the transfer of asset data between PMIS and CMMS systems has been delayed for months, often leaving operations with incomplete records. For owners and operators managing complex capital programs, the Kahua–IBM Maximo integration aligns asset data from planning and design through construction, handover and ongoing maintenance.
“We’re empowering our clients to unlock the full value of their asset data from day one,” said Dean Ely, Intelligence Automation Sales Leader at IBM. “By bridging Kahua’s project management capabilities with IBM Maximo’s operational intelligence, we’re helping organizations streamline handover, reduce downtime and drive long-term asset performance.”
With Kahua and IBM Maximo, asset information such as type, location and classification is defined early in Kahua. As projects progress, key details such as manufacturer, serial number, installation date, warranty and maintenance requirements, are continuously updated and synchronized into IBM Maximo. This ensures operations teams receive complete, accurate and operational-ready data at handover, eliminating manual re-entry and accelerating readiness for maintenance.
This integration was made possible through Kahua’s open API framework, which empowers partners to build and extend connections across the capital lifecycle. FTI Consulting, a system integrator and Maximo expert, worked together with Kahua in co-delivering the Kahua–IBM Maximo integration, accelerating time-to-value for owners and contractors.
“By connecting Kahua’s PMIS with IBM Maximo’s EAM/CMMS, we are transforming how asset data flows across the lifecycle,” said Brian Moore, President of Kahua. “Owners gain visibility and control from day one, with handover no longer a single event at the end, but a dynamic process occurring seamlessly throughout the project.”
Looking ahead, Kahua is expanding its ecosystem of strategic integrations to ensure customers benefit from seamless data flows between PMIS, CMMS and other enterprise applications, strengthening the asset-centric approach to capital program management.
